Poinsettia Plants
Did you know that December 12th is Poinsettia Day? This beautiful plant has been displayed in homes and businesses for generations and is recognized as the traditional Christmas plant. An American botanist, physician and Minister to Mexico by the name of Joel Roberts Poinsett sent cuttings of the plant he had discovered in Southern Mexico to his home in Charleston, South Carolina. Botanically, the plant is known as Euphorbia Pulchritude and the common name is Poinsettia. Mr. Poinsett died on December 12th in 1851 at the age of 72. December 12th is now known as Poinsettia day in his honor.
Poinsettias are the best selling potted plants in the U.S. and Canada. It is estimated the each year the sale of Poinsettias accountant for approximately $250,000,000. In July of 2002, the House of Representatives created Poinsettia Day.
In Mexico, the plant is called the Flower of the Holy Night. The Spanish translation is La Flor de la Nochebuena. As the legend goes, a young girl was very upset because she had no gift to honor the Baby Jesus in a Christmas Procession. An angel spoke to her with the message that any gift given with love is the best gift. The young girl then gathered weeds by the roadside to place around the manger. Miraculously these weeds sprouted into the beautiful red star flower we think of as Poinsettia.
